- Acute plastic deformation of long bones is frequently observed in young children, as shown in the case of a 15-year-old boy who suffered injuries to his right forearm while playing soccer.
- The boy was diagnosed with radial neck and medial epicondylar fractures, and an MRI revealed additional issues, including intramedullary bleeding and deformities in the radius.
- The case highlights the importance of using MRI for early diagnosis of plastic deformation, as missing it can lead to functional impairments; the boy's injury was successfully treated with surgery.
